"Has our last night of our honeymoon here. Absolutely delightful staff and good. Yes portions are small (can't believe some of the reviews). Do your research. A proper 4 course meal. They directed us towards a wine bottle to pair. We had to order another bottle as the first one was so delightful. We made reservations on their website. A local recommended coming here. Way more bang for your buck compared to down in Bellagio. Most people want to bring a car. We walked and it's up a bit of a mountain road at the end. But, doable for those like us if the weather is right."
